Dollars and Sex Retrospective

Today’s post is the one hundredth post for Dollars and Sex and to mark this occasion I thought I would provide a retrospective of the fifteen most popular posts to have appeared here over the past ten months. What is interesting about this list is how diverse the topics are--from online dating to prostitution to monogamy to faking orgasms. Dollars and Sex readers certainly have a wide range of interests!

2. Sex in ChinaThe Chinese google the search terms “sex in China” a lot. The only possible explanation as to why they search that term so often (and, as a result, end up reading my posts) is that they just don’t have sex often enough.

4. Confessions of a College Pimp This post is a word-for-word transcript of a conversation I had with a man who had pimped his way through university. It inspired others who had done the same to write me to explain that they were not nearly as mean as this guy.

6. The Dating Surplus for Chinese Women Much of the popularity of this post, which is a letter from a student who is spending a year in China, came from his use of the phrase "I would rather cry in the back of a BMW than laugh on the back of a bicycle."

7. Free Porn Lowers Rape RatesApparently the Google search terms “rape” and “porn” are very popular. I don’t judge how my readers arrive on the page. I am just glad they are here.

10. Why Aren't Porn Stars Paid More? Not all my readers agreed with the use of the word “star” in this context, but whenever we talk about pay in the sex trades someone has an opinion on how much a worker’s time is worth.
